Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, was entitled to a double portion in the inheritance (compare De 21:17), but he forfeited this right by committing incestuous immorality with his father's concubine. (Ge 35:22; 49:3, 4) These vacancies, the vacancy of Levi among the 12 as well as the absence of one with firstborn rights, had to be filled.
In a comparatively simple way God adjusted both matters by a single act. Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were advanced to full status as tribal heads. (Ge 48:1-6; 1Ch 5:1, 2) Again 12 tribes exclusive of Levi could be numbered, and also a double portion of the land was representatively given to Joseph the father of Ephraim and Manasseh. In this way the firstborn rights were taken away from Reuben, the firstborn of Leah, and given to Joseph, the firstborn of Rachel. (Ge 29:31, 32; 30:22-24) Now with these adjustments the names of the 12 (non-Levite) tribes of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin, Dan, Asher, Gad, and Naphtali.-Nu 1:4-15.
In David's reign, when the revolt by his son Absalom had been put down, all the tribes once again acknowledged David as king. Yet, in returning the king to his throne, a dispute arose over protocol, and in this matter the ten northern tribes called Israel were at odds with the men of Judah.-2Sa 19:41-43.
All 12 tribes were united in their support of David's son Solomon in his kingship. But upon his death in about 998 B.C.E. the dividing of the kingdom occurred. Only the tribes of Benjamin and Judah supported King Rehoboam, who sat on his father Solomon's throne in Jerusalem. Israel, consisting of the ten other tribes to the N and E, picked Jeroboam to be their king.-1Ki 11:29-37; 12:1-24; MAP, Vol. 1, p. 947.
By the time of Jehosaphat's rule, the kingdom of Israel han already been split. So from all this we can see that Judahwas a tribe of Israel with the city of Jerusalem as the seat of government for the two tribe kingdom (Judah and Benjamin) in the South. Eventually the southern two tribes came to be called Judah and the northern 10 tribes came to be called Israel.

Can pure salt lose its saltiness?
Assuming you are referring to the passage in Matthew 5:13, I have heard (and this seems to make the most sense to me) that the "salt" Jesus is referring to is different that the salt we use today. The salt we use today is pure sodium chloride, and there is no way it could lose it's saltiness, but the salt they were acquainted with was a mixture of salt and other minerals (There was a lot of salt in the ground in the southern region of Judah, but they didn't have a way to isolate the pure salt). So often times when they would have a container of "salt", it would get wet, and the sodium chloride would seep out and leave behind the other minerals. Then their salt wouldn't have any "saltiness", and would be completely useless. Anyways I think the connection Jesus was trying to make was that we (Christians) are the salt of the world and one of the most valuable traits of salt (especially then, before refrigeration) is preservation. The world is always morally decaying, and one of the important roles of Christians in this world is being salt by preserving it, and not tolerating sin. Hope that helps, but I would love to hear other's opinions on this though. Max
Did Moses have a map when he fled Egypt Had maps been drawn at that time?
According to the Bible, Moses was forced to flee Egypt after killing the Egyptian overseer who was beating an Israelite slave. The Bible does not mention any maps. Nor does it mention a direction or intended destination so a map would not have made any difference.The Exodus, led by Moses, is commonly estimated to date to about 1250 BC. As no mention of maps is made it is not possible to know what Moses may or may not have had available. Also the Exodus story is a foundation-narrative of Israel and there is no archaeological evidence for any of its events, nor do any of the recorded histories of other peoples and nations in the area document events told in Exodus that would have obviously impacted them. Therefore it seems unlikely that the story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt under the leadership of Moses happened as described, thus maps would probably not have even been useful.Maps of cities based on survey data were in use in Babylon before 1750 BC, by the time of the rule of Hammurabi. "Maps" of local landmarks in cave paintings date back to 25000 BC (this is during the last ice age, which ended about 12000 BC).Evidence of the Exodus:The Ipuwer papyrus describes Egypt's experiencing the Plagues: "Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned" (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50).The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.But in any case, few nations are content to record embarrassing setbacks honestly. Even today, British and American textbooks describe the American Revolution in very different ways.An example of the above principle:The destruction of Sennacherib's army at the walls of Jerusalem was denied by secular theorists, because the Assyrians made no mention of it. But then it was found that Berosus and Herodotus both state that Sennacherib's military campaign in Judea ended in plague and defeat. It should not surprise us that the Assyrians themselves didn't record their own losses.It is only the Hebrew Bible, because of its Divine origin, that exposes the faults of its own people and even magnifies them.In no other religious text can one find such openness. None of the Israelites were immune to strong criticism: Abraham (Genesis 16:5), Reuben (Gen.ch.35), Simeon and Levi (Gen.ch.34 and 49), Judah (Gen.ch.38), Joseph's brothers (Gen.ch.37), Moses (Numbers ch.20), Aaron (Exodus 32:2-4), Samson (Judges 14:1-3), Eli's sons (1 Samuel 2:12), Samuel's sons (1 Samuel 8:1-3), Saul (1 Samuel ch.15), David (2 Samuel ch.11-12), Solomon (1 Kings ch.11), and many others."Although critics contended that the Hebrew Bible is unhistorical and untrustworthy, time and time again, the archaeological record supports places, times, and events mentioned in Scripture. We now have archaeological information about a number of patriarchal towns mention in Scripture, including Bethel, Shechem, Jerusalem, Mamre, Gerar, Beer-sheba, and Dothan" (Professor John Arthur Thompson, The Bible and Archaeology). The personal names Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are names of the time and area mentioned in the Bible (ibid)."One city after another, one civilization after another, one culture after another, whose memories were enshrined only in the Bible, have been restored to their proper places in ancient history by the studies of archaeologists" (Prof. Gleason Archer, A Survey of Old Testament Introduction).No parchment, scroll, or inscription has ever been found that would support the Bible-critics' JEPD (different sources) hypothesis, which remains a set of postulates. And those ancient writers who mention, describe, summarize or translate the Torah (Josephus, Samaritans, Targum, Septuagint etc.), describe it in its complete form.Archaeological finds, such as the Ugarit documents and those of Nuzu, Mari, Susa, Ebla, and Tel el-Amarna, have repeatedly caused the critics to retract specific claims. The entire social milieu portrayed in the Torah, once criticized as anachronistic, has been shown to be historically accurate, including customs of marriage, adoption, contracts, inheritance, purchases, utensils, modes of travel, people's names and titles, etc. Professor Gleason Archer states: "In case after case where historical inaccuracy was alleged as proof of late and spurious authorship of the biblical documents, the Hebrew record has been vindicated by the results of excavations, and the condemnatory judgment of the Documentary theorists have been proved to be without foundation."
